I really hope we can qualify with 2 games to spare and then not repeat last season’s mistake and give all the main guys a rest. Win and a draw against Atletico should get us there.
We didn’t need to win the game Jota got injured in. Even if we wrap it up I’m sure Klopp will play a strong team. It’s what 2m a win in the CL? That’s 20 times what you get for winning the league cup 😀
 
I thought Jota was good, and he made good chances for himself as usual, but against City I would love to see Bobby press the fuck out of them early on and unleash Jota for 30 mins at the end against tired legs rather than the other way around. Bobby is still great for our system.

Yeah, this is probably the way to go. Have to say Bobby looked really good in his cameo.
The touch was there and scoring goals will set him up for a flyer.
 
He knows his career is over, and rightly so. He crumbled on the big stage, you can't be a world class goalkeeper if you do that. Much easier to recover from mistakes in other positions. There are plenty of competent goalkeepers who could do the basics that he didn't manage to do in a CL final if given the chance.

Career over and rightly so? That's very very harsh indeed. He's not a surgeon, he didn't cost us a life, just some pride and another cup in the trophy cabinet.

He most certainly isn't the first keeper to throw the ball to the opposition - in fact every keeper will have done that. It was very very unfortunate that it just happened to happen on that night. And it's more than likely that adversely affected him - leading to another error.

He has gone on record numerous times rightly blaming himself for us not winning the cup (I agree, I think we certainly could have). However just because he's not a world class keeper shouldn't mean his career is over.

Yeah that's a bit OTT.

We all know it’s Pat’s fault.

So you completely disregard the fact he got belted in the head and was concussed?
 
Mate hes not still concussed is he. Was shite then and shite now unfortunately
As I said above he’s confidence was obliterated from that night and the abuse that followed. He’s never recovered. Doesn’t mean he wasn't a passable a keeper before the final and if not for getting punched in the head in the final (or Salah not getting injured) could well have ended up a CL winner in arguably our great ever European side.
It would be like saying someone was always a terrible driver when in fact they were more than capable of driving until they were in a massive crash and after a nervous shit panicky driver. What happened to Karius is up there with the worst possible scenarios as a professional footballer. Costing your team the biggest prize in football in front of the world. And it wasn’t even his fault, cnyt Ramos punched him in the head. I was never a big fan of Karius and wanted him replaced but I don’t agree with peoples take here. He was extremely unlucky.
 
He was "passable" prior to the final, that's maybe the best you can say about him. He threw a couple in against Roma in the semi (without concussion), he was just lucky we scored so many at the other end

Are you trying to claim he can become a world class keeper again? If so, why is Klopp making him fourth choice behind fucking Adrian? This isn't the best subject to try and be contrarian on. He was above average at best going into Kiev and he left with his career over. This is sport, there are about 500 keepers better than him and rightly no one wants to take a risk on him after he's proven at both loans since that he is utter shite.
 
"Again" would imply he was world class in the first place and not a snivelling retard

Agreed - i got the impression that Dreamy was trying to imply he once was. At his best he made the odd great save and could go 90 minutes without a brainfart - but only just.

I think it's about time we officially outed Dreamy and sacrificed him.

He extols the virtues of Man United players, past and present, consistently. He wants United to keep winning to keep Ole in a job. He cashes out on the reds. He willingly starts threads with full knowledge that he's a jinxy cunt and will see us lose. Now, he's defending Karius."😀"
